Coordinating Minister of Maritime Affairs and Investments Luhut Binsar Pandjaitan has leaked the subsidy for electric motorcycles to be given by the government next year. With this subsidy, it is estimated that the price of electric motorcycles will be cheaper.
“If next year’s motorcycles are replaced with electric motorcycles, just replace them, then you will get subsidies,” Luhut said at an event broadcast on PermataBank’s YouTube channel quoted on Wednesday (11/30/2022).
According to him, the government is currently preparing regulations. The amount of the grant disbursed is still being defined. But the subsidy is likely to reach 6 million rupees.
“Immediately, now we are launching subsidy electric cars. For example motorcycles, we are finalizing how many million we want to give subsidies for (electric) motorcycles. Maybe IDR 6 million, in Thailand maybe 7 million, we could be IDR 6.5 million or how much , roughly around that. Cars, how many millions do we want to give,” Luhut said.
With this subsidy, the prices of electric motorcycles could be cheaper next year. Currently, the average electric motorcycle costs tens of millions to tens of millions of rupees.
The following is the estimated price of several electric motorcycles if they receive subsidies, as stated by Luhut.
